There are always exceptions, but in general yes. I've noticed the same coldness/reserved attitude at Scandinavian women. Compare them with Spanish, Italian or South American women, they have warmth, passion & joie de vivre in their eyes, must be the climate in those countries

Indeed many Americans have not been to the uk, or outside America, they only know what their tv shows them of ridiculous characters like emily from friends, or that exaggerated cardboard cut-out english woman on the e channel. I have been to America a few times, I had a great time, it's a great country with many fine attributes and I'd love to go back, but i would say the press is anything but 'free'.

outside of America countries with more than 150 years history exist, a truer sense of liberation, education, depth etc do exist. I find Italy, France, Croatia, Germany etc have a philosophical, contemplatative, relaxed way of life on the whole, which has a lot of merit. What America has is tons of cool stuff! In the scheme of culture, the history of literature and art it is a dot, but it does have the coolest films, the coolest music (well arguably England has the most influencial bands ever) but the COOLEST stuff is American. It is shallow but very attractive. Just frustrating that intellectually so many Americans have zero awareness of their place in the world and the history of civilisation.

I attended university with some Americans, they were very good at reciting english literature, intelligent in the sense of remembering things, but in my opinion somewhat lacking in original thought. Pledging allegiance to stuff comes naturally, independent thought, contemplating outside of the box, and overall awareness of the world the us is perhaps slightly behind other cultures, the great European cultures etc. I would never say my country is the greatest, Socrates never said he was the most intelligent, but I'm pretty sure most americans think there is nothing of significance outside of US soil. There can be a 'world series' that only involves the US etc, half mad really, but certainly very COOL.

No kidding. Maybe these Brits need to go watch one of their 3 hour dramas of stuffy rich people doing as they're told...while it rains outside.

Mr Doom, you do realise that the royal family have no power and are only there to generate income from fat american tourists don't you?

We actually have a government which is voted for by the people in a fair and democratic way. Ordinary people running the country (with a few millionares thrown in). It's the same with all the other true free democracies in the world.

You Americans on the other hand have a fake freedom and democracy which our british grandfathers who wrote the constitution deliberately set up control the minds of the average american. This is why you have low education levels and 99.9 % of you work until you die so that 0.1% make all the money. The british and rothschilds have been controling your minds since 1776.

USA has no democracy or freedom. You are controlled by the elite. When was the last time you had an ordinary man become president? Anyone can become president as long as they have multi million dollar backing and press manipulation behind them. Now you have a half black british man placed as your president because we decided that is what you would have for some unknown political reason. To quiten the muslems maybe. And the republican candidate was selected so that obama was sure to get a second term. This way you pea brained americans would think you had elected him in a democratic way.

And yet the little people like mr Doom think you live in a democracy?

In a true democracy like the other western countries the citizens do not buy assault rifles to defent agains their own democratically elected government.

In the USA the clever ones do because they realise they are living in a sham democracy with no true freedom.

No hating here, but I think that blondes are a bit overrated, prob because they look sexy & outgoing. Brunettes tend to look more mysterious, reserved and intelligent.

Well, I think it is not quite that simple. Also remember most so called blondes are artificial blondes (brunettes with hair dye) and they tend to have a certain look that I do not like sexually, but it is a bold standout look. I think natural blondes + brunettes can be both stunning, and warm/mysterious + intelligent.

I dont think I live in a democracy...because I don't...I live in a Republic. I thought the English were supposed to be smart? Or maybe they substitute pretension for learning.

Oh, and we've had a couple of Presidents arise from the common man. I think you'll remember one in particular. His name was Andrew Jackson. He made his bones at the Battle of New Orleans ending England's second pathetic attempt to constrain free men. Seriously, when is the last time you guys won a battle...not even a war...just a battle? Maybe if your armed forces spent more time practicing and less time buggering you'd improve. Sound advice for your National Football team too.
